Coming up with something new and original is so exciting. ”

There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they're blending the pop, dance and theatricality... but currently there aren't a lot of guys who go there. ”

Female performers have been doing this for years - pushing the envelope about sexuality - and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out. ”

I've only dressed in drag three or four times. ”

I'm very inspired by past music. ”

I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there. ”

I was really beating myself up about performances and how I looked and this and that. ”

You can't plan everything - if I did a performance exactly how I rehearsed it, it would be so boring. ”

I'm trying to convey to my audience that you really can't judge a book by its cover, and there's more to the universe than you can see with your eyes. ”

After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place. ”
